Method
- 01Warm a little olive oil in a pan over low heat. Add the spinach and cook for 2 minutes, stirring, until it wilts down and softens. Low heat is important here — high heat will scorch it.
- 02Add the eggs to the pan with the spinach, or use a separate pan over very low heat. Stir slowly with a spatula for 3–4 minutes — the eggs should stay soft, creamy and just slightly underdone. Remove from heat before they look fully set.
- 03Toast the bread until crisp. Layer the spinach on top, then the eggs. Grate over some lemon zest, season with salt and pepper — the zest adds a fresh brightness that lifts the whole dish.
Why this works
Choline in eggs supports normal liver function and is a building block for cell membranes. Folate and magnesium in spinach support normal nervous system function. Starting the day with protein may help support steadier energy levels.
